The PACT Act is bad but don't forget the Tobacco Control Act

Joe234, that article is totally out of line

Of all of the things Joe234 has posted here _this_ is out of line? LOL

I was joking 'bout the swipe at Whole Foods. I love that place. But, it is expensive as shit if you just buy the instant meals there. People need to learn to cook again. I'd love to see someone challenge PACT and the Tobacco Control Act in court though. I dn't understand how this can stand up.

I bought two chicken breasts at trader joes the other day for almost 10$, then went to costco and bought a bag of like 20 breast for 15$. Somewhere someone is making a ridiculous profit.

Free range, natural/organic meat costs more to raise and tend to... but yes, it can be costly but boy is it delicious!
CostCo is good for other things.... I mean you can take shit back after years of use on a lot of their electronics.

Joe234, that article is totally out of line. I only spend about $60-$70 a week at Whole Foods and I eat comfortably. They're not that expensive if you get the right stuff and cook your own meals...

You lost me here? Am I too high on the Grov Black I have in my mouth?
How does the food budget fit here?

I spend that much or less at Kroger and I eat comfortably.

I spend way to much in food. Organic or not. I try to eat quality but do much of my shopping at safeway and it's still expensive. I spend over 400$ a month on food, can I get a holler for all my niggs shopping at that lion market or whatever it's called down south?

I usually shop at Kroger, sometimes Walmart, sometimes Meijer.

The only organic thing our family has been consistent on is milk. Our kid drinks about a gallon every 2-3 days. 6-7 dollars gallon.
Cheap meat is great but I would rather pay more for quality which we dont do. There however is not many places for quality unless you go out to a farm. Local farmer markets have plenty of organic produce which is good. I have really weaned off of some processed food and do feel much better.

The government hierarchy is becoming top heavy and compromised by corruption. At some point in time, I would hope it comes crashing down. We need to start all over, get back to basics. You know, we all poke fun at the Amish and the mountain folk, but when the sh*t hits the fan, they'll probably be the most prepared. I have enough of a garden, livestock, wild animals, and fish around to hopefully survive on my own. Now I just need to learn how to make beer and grow my own tobacco. But I'm sure the blackhawk choppers will swoop down and destroy my crops and livestock. I'd like to see the pompous ass tax tyrants demoted down to the level of the common man. They wouldn't last a day. The day that one of these guys shows up on my porch thirsty and hungry looking for a handout will be a good day
